Emma Hunter, Tom Bruce, and Hayley Wright build worlds more than songs — sun‑scorched, shadow‑drenched, 1950s‑flamenco‑tinged worlds where desire, danger, and mythology blur at the edges.
Hunter’s looping guitars and haunting vocals coil around Bruce’s trip‑hop percussion and Wright’s deep, steady bass, creating soundscapes that feel like they were pulled from a lost Lynch film or a dream you can’t quite shake.
Their music draws on PJ Harvey’s grit, Imogen Heap’s layered imagination, and the mysticism of Ancient Mexico. Every track is a story, every harmony a clue, every melody a doorway into a cinematic universe.
“Snake,” the final single from Hunter’s album Yolanda, is a descent into longing and addiction. Morricone‑style guitars flicker like heatwaves while vocal harmonies rise and fall like a warning. The snake — inspired by Mayan mythology — becomes the embodiment of alcohol’s pull, as Yolanda begs Danny to choose her over the darkness consuming him.
With performances at Truck Festival, Riverside, Cornbury, and the Oxford O2 Academy, the trio has carved out a reputation for transporting audiences into their world — a place of dust, dusk, and desire.
Somewhere between unbelievably beautiful and haunting, Emma Hunter has a sound that pulls you into a world I didn’t want to ever leave. Vocally commanding, sonically beautiful. Welcome to The IMH… So grateful to have you.
